East of Edenworks.
We went to go visit the Edenworks fish and greens ecosystem farm in Brooklyn, New York. Some details that caught my interest:
• 90% of American seafood is imported and 40% is mislabelled (!)
• Fish are 40x more efficient than cows at converting feed to body mass
• Over 50% of all fish meals come from aquaculture ($160B globally)
• Edenworks’ aquaponic microbiome improves conversion of nitrogen to plant yield by 18x over indoor hydroponics
The microgreens are in floating aquaponic containers, fertilized by the microbially-digested fish waste, and they thrive on this nutrient stream. Results: the greens and fish are quite yummy and popular at the local Whole Foods.
